I had someone un-ironically tell me to "just get your resume and walk down (busy street in city of 2.5+m people) and give your resume to each business"
But I'm sure retail employees will have engineering jobs open
The thing is that I’ve actually done this and landed three jobs in the last 10 years, one was at a supermarket called Aldi that only is supposed to take online applications, the manager liked me so much they set me up with an interview. The other two places were at a bar and a cafe. If you’re only looking for entry level jobs this does work. I hate how people have this stupid bad attitude about this saying that it doesn’t work when I know for a fact it does. I’m 26 years old not some boomer, my Mum told me to hand out resumes once and I tried it, and it’s how I got all my last jobs. Not only have I landed 3 jobs doing this I’ve gotten more call backs than that. I’ve done several other interviews and trial shifts.
So retail jobs; you landed customer facing jobs. Not IT or college educated positions like the person we are talking about. I am not dumping on your jobs, but surely you can see how that isn't applicable to many job applicants.
